This course explores the changing role of natural and artificial light in architecture and urbanism from the 19th century to the present. The format will be divided between seminar/lectures and project-based workshops. The seminars will offer a history of lighting technology as a condition of the possibility for modern architecture and broader concepts of the environment. In the workshops, students work collaboratively and hands-on to create experimental installations and simulations as mid term and final projects for the course.
Open to non majors but with instructor permission.
